It is DONE!

In this adorable task-managing game you play as a cute kitty working at an underfunded public library. With a broken wall and a rodent infestation, all they could afford was one illiterate cat! You manage returned books, reshelve the books, and catch any mice or birds that find their way in.
> **Controls**
>
> WASD To move
> B to open character editing screen, with 3000+ possible cats to be!
> A to interact / click, such as when selecting a color or stamping a book. You also hold this button to crouch, so that when the next critter passes by, you can pounce on it!
> To get returned books from the library’s visitors, simply overlap them and then stamp your little paw as close to the mark on the bottom right as possible.
> To reshelve books, overlap the orange cart with the books and take the book to overlap an empty shelf.
> **Inspiration**
>
> This game is inspired by [Browser](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_(cat)), the cat that was hired to a Texas library to control rodents! He was actually voted by the city to be fired due to cat allergies, but an online petition and a flood of emails returned him to his rightful place- permanently 🙂
> **Programmer's notes and thoughts**
>
> This was a fun one to make. The walk cycle is based off of how real cats walk: “Cats have a precise method of walking called **direct registering**. Their hind paws fall inside the place of their forepaws, minimizing noise and visible tracks, while ensuring more stable footing.” I used a gif to get it just right! All the rest of the art is quite relaxed and simply lineless. The books add nice colorful accents to the cozy brown and beige! Surprisingly this was coded without any major glitches or roadblocks to stop me.

I LOVED IT!! I’ve never seen a game with that stick and puppet artstyle, the static effect, and the undertale battle!! so cool. It was definately too hard for me, though lol.

Well…Alot of stuff has been happening Recently…
1. My Grandmother Was staying with me for sometime and she left during the week
2. I had an All day Field Trip So I had to prepare.
3. I had _ **LOTS** _ and Mean _ **LOTS** _ of Exams And Finals
4. I had Afterschool Choir Practice For the Field trip (It was a competition at Busch Gardens)
5. Me just existing is already hard enough.
6. I scrapped like 5 Game Ideas.
I took sometime to decide. So, That’s my decision. It was a tough call but. Yep. Put Someone in my Spot!
Good Luck everybody else! I’ll still be watching the competiton!

Haha, same!
Hey and if anyone needs another game competition tip, start general. My original version of the game was just ‘cat in library’! I added on to it as much as I could without interfering with my life. It helps with plannning : )

Soo, I don’t really want to be asking too much, but since everyone dropped their games on monday, does that mean I have until wednesday to post mine?
